Uncommon Grounds

Established in 1990, Uncommon Grounds is a coffeehouse that caters to customers who seek quality coffee and chai in the ambiance of old Uptown. Located in the oldest Victorian home on Hennepin Ave, the inviting atmosphere is perfect for dates and mingling with family and friends.

Come in and try our award-winning chai with a slice of our decadent chocolate cake, or people-watch on our wraparound porch with one of our original drinks and a delicious pastry.

Did you know? The plush emerald green booths were rescued from the St. Paul Hotel's L'Etoile Restaurant when it closed.
